Advanced Chironomid Tactics Class with Phil Rowley

[@kerrypitt9789]

I have both Dvds. You really need the second DVD to bring it all together. This presentation is a pretty rare treat!

[@graymichael09]

Got to say this is the most informative thing on buzzer (as we call it in the UK) fishing I have ever come across. First class.

[@Waty8413]

I don't have any stillwater trout anywhere near me except for a few put and take lakes, yet this really kept my interest. He did a good job explaining things yet keeping the presentation moving.

[@markmemmott3608]

Good stuff! Thanks Phil and Fly Fish Food. Good job on the video to going back and forth between Phil and the presentation. Hope to see more of these kind of learning presentations from you guys.

I fish a lake in NW Utah using those bobber indicators usually orange in color and the trout will occasionally violently take the indicator typically in October and November. On the upwind side of the lake there are Manzanita trees that produce a round, orangish fruit that floats like a cork. I’ve always wondered if trout are omnivorous and will eat these fruit. Yes, I’ve had my guy tie me up a few....we call them fruit flies.

Phil...Rowley's are rare. I have same last name. Always a pleasure / interest to discover another Rowley. I'm in California, Eastern Sierra mountain range where I fish. My lineage is out of Ft. Wayne Indiana then to California. Fly fishing just one of many hobbies. Where do you live?

Short term Long term Hi, we are rare aren’t we. I currently live in Alberta, just east off Edmonton.

@@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Brother from another Mother. I'm older, 57 years old, ride dirt bikes, single, work at a Drinking Water Treatment Plant (38 years). I recently purchased two fly outfits for small waters, a 5'6" and 6'8" rigs from Whitewater out out of New York. I'm not totally dedicated to fly fishing, four hobbies of fly fishing, long distance off road motorcycling, gold prospecting, exploring. Two ex-wife no kids. Rowley thing is rare. I'm not that guy, 2007 Ford F-150 4x4 . California is a shit-show, been here all my life. I hope you can share my story with your friends. I live in Mojave for a reason, 64 miles away from work. I commute one hour each way. Do you know about Pyramid Lake Lahonton Cuttroaght Trout fishery? Nevada Ladder fishing via Indian tribe? I've never been. Indian tribe managed. Paiute tribe. Great history about the area. I'm a two time Burning Man guy just for the art/ experience. Alberta is West Canada? Alberta Stampede area?

Is the whole leader floro?

[@adamtodd217]

It works

[@JoeSenger]

While the content is fantastic, the technical glitches through the first 5 minutes tested my patience.

[@mattleman9023]

Hi Phil. Long time fan of your many different ways of getting info to fly fishers. I noticed you spoke very quickly of "Loch Style" fishing in this presentation. I have been delving deeply into this method the last two years. I have had a great time doing it but it is certainly challenging, maybe the most challenging method of catching fish I've embarked on in my 30 years of fly fishing due to the specialized boat set up with a drogue, need for various fly lines, long leaders, etc. Can I ask what your general opinion of the method is, and do you feel it superior/inferior to double anchored position fishing more common to the States/Canada? Thanks!

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

technology at its best

[@glideman]

Good talks but the sound is terrible

[@FlyFishFood]

Yeah, we've since overcome this little audio issue but the important thing is the content.... :)

[@catchinfishies5765]

dude doing the intro was just playing with the mic instead of using it. super annoying lol

[@vanillagator]

very informative BUT the damn audio is beyond terrible with all the constant glitches. I had to stop watching.

[@glideman]

If you’re going to use a float why not use the classic baitfish float? You’re just using coarse fishing techniques on game fish 🤨

[@FlyFishFood]

Glideman fishing is fishing right?

[@hankvana2149]

Was thinking the same thing, "coarse" fishing techniques would be an ideal way of presenting chironomid patterns - especially if you didn't have several fly reels loaded with speciality ($$$) lines. As FFF said: fishing is fishing.
